Review: Ray of Light

Ray of Light by E.L. Todd
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Publishing date: January 3th 2017

*I was gifted this ARC from the author and are freely giving my review of it*

Rae is having a one night stand with her brothers friend Ryker even though she know he's a man whore but she has no expectations. But Ryker seems to have some expectations of his own.....

I love this story and I can't wait for the next.

It was a sadness to this story that got to me, Ryker started with being not a very nice guy but somehow along the story I began to feel sorry for him. He wants to have a relationship with Rae but have zero experience in the relationship department. Rae is something special, she don't let anyone stomp on her and she guards her heart having big walls up around it. I can see how those two people will have a lot of work to do in maintaining their relationship.

Todd has a writing style that is easygoing and with just the right amount of dialogues so I can't stop reading. The characters are very well described with enough emotions to make me feel them in my soul. I'm feeling so I get lost in the story, and OMG do I love when that happens.

I especially liked the little secondary stories going on with the other characters....Rex has to get his brain in gear.....I say no more so I don't spoil it, but I instead recommend you read it.

Good 5 stars.

Review: Clash: A Legal Affairs Story

Clash: A Legal Affairs Story by Sawyer Bennett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The beginning

This story was way to short but then it's just the beginning... I loved it but oh...it's a cliffhanger so now I have to read the next book because this author always has me hooked from first chapter.
It was fun, hot and interesting as always....
Perfect amount of dialogues which always makes me happy, characters that are described with feelings and makes me see them in my mind.
I especially like that the female character isn't a damsel in distress but a women with enough self esteem to not be all over the guy.
The storyline is a little diffuse at the moment but it will probably be clearer in next book.

Review: Calling the Play

Calling the Play by Samantha Kane
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Oh yes

I loved sassy Randi and sweet commanding Brian. Ty didn't stand a chance. This story was sweet, hot and complicated, it's book two in the Birmingham Rebels series and it's a plus if you have read the first one but not a must.
The writing style is easygoing and fun and the characters are well written although in my opinion they could be more "colourful" described. In some ways I felt that I got to know the characters well, in other ways not.
The storyline is good and I like ménage stories although I sometimes wish the story could centre more around the dynamics of the relationship in the everyday life. That's just my hopes for the people in the stories surfacing.
There are some really hot scenes in this story as in the first book so be warned it's adult content.
Well, I'm continuing reading the next book.

Review: Campaigning for Christopher

Campaigning for Christopher by Katy Regnery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Intriguing story

(Audiobook)
I liked this book the best of all the Winslow brothers stories because I loved the storyline with enemies becoming lovers.
Julienne is mislead to believe Christopher is a bad guy running for office and takes action to smear his reputation. As soon as she realised her mistake she offers to make it up to him by being his fake girlfriend, but can he go trough with it when he hate her, or do he really hate her?

I liked the dynamic between the two characters and found that it was well written in my opinion. This authors stories always contains a lot of feelings and this story is no different, it's packed with feelings. So bring your handkerchief, the tears will flow at some point.

There were two things keeping it from being full pot, the voice again; it's not the most comfortable listening to but not enough bothering to drop the book. The second thing is that we never got to know who "black hat" was and nail him. But this is my personal wishes, for others it can be enough as it is.

I liked this series, even though I haven't read the stories about the English brothers beforehand it was no problem. Maybe I will read them now.

Review: Holiday Heat

Holiday Heat by Celia Aaron
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

CHRISTMAS ANGEL by Opal Carew writing as Amber Carew
I loved this fairytale like story, it was sweet and had some really good hot scenes. Ms Carew is good at writing hot scenes.
Her characters are coming alive and the story has a lot of dialogues so it's easy to read.
Good 5 star short story.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING FOR A BILLIONAIRE by Julia Kent
This was a hilarious story with lots of Christmas action. The story also has a good amount of dialogues and was easy to read.
The author did get room for one hot scene in good Christmas spirit; Santa and naughty elf.
4,5 naughty stars.

HOT FOR SANTA by Cathryn Fox
Oh, sweet baby Jesus what a naughty story......... I loved it!!!!!!!
Great writing style, not to much unnecessary described surroundings and lots of dialogues. A little slow in the beginning but stick around and you won't regret it. The ending was a glorious naughty one.
But it was also sweet as sugar so I give it 5 naughty and sweet stars

THE LADY AND THE DRAGON'S HOLIDAY by Mandy Rosko
I didn't read this one because it's not my cup of tea.......

TWO "HAPPY HOLIDAY" SHORTS by Mari Carr
This was two hot short stories that was well written with no unnecessary descriptions of surroundings and enough dialogues to hold my interest.
I think I'm going to have to read more from this author.
Good 5 star read

ALL HE WANTS FOR CHRISTMAS EVE by Ruby Carew
Carew can always get me in the mood and this time in Christmas mood with bells and all.
Friends to lovers are sweet and hot and Carew makes the most beautiful love scenes, I can practically picture it in my head. Plain and simple storytelling with adult contents, just as I like it.
5 red hot stars(with bells on)

A STEPBROTHER FOR CHRISTMAS, THE HARD AND DIRTY HOLIDAYS by Celia Aaron
A new author for me *jumping up and down with joy* and this is a 5 star story. Some of the hottest I've read.
The writing style is my favourite, easygoing, a good amount of dialogues, and no unnecessary descriptions of surroundings......YES!!!!!
Good described characters and the storyline was also good for a short story.
I'm on Amazon next to find more from this author.
Recommend if you like a hot short story of good quality.

HOLIDAY FANTASY by Yvette Hines
I liked that the subject of BDSM was explained in a good way in this story even for a short story.
What I didn't like about this story was that the each dom and sub had nicknames, it was confusing and why???????? For me it made the whole thing seem unrealistic.
The writing style is easy and straight forward, a joy to read. The love scenes was hot and well described.
I'm sad to give this a weak 4 stars but the whole nickname thing ruined my experience of the story.

COWBOY JACKPOT: Christmas Cowboy Jackpot Series, Book 1 by Randi Alexander
This was a good story but I didn't feel like I got to know the characters, it lacked descriptions of the feelings that makes me all soft hearted and ohhh-ing.
Still, the writing style is great, easy and with enough dialogues to not make it boring. No unnecessary description of surroundings is also positive.
The storyline was weak and a little messy so all in all it was a questionable 4 star read.

STRANDED FOR CHRISTMAS by N Kuhn
This was as sweet as it can be, I actually loved it even if it had no especially erotic scenes in it (which I usually read)
The storyline was good, the characters well described and the writing style easygoing and light. Good amount of dialogues made it interesting.
It could have had more feelings and it felt a little naive and cliche at times so I give it 4 stars.

To sum it up I think it's a good 4 star read almost to 5 but not quite.

Review: Broken Play

Broken Play by Samantha Kane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My goodness

What a book......... I don't know where to begin but one thing is clear; I love this book!
Marian is wanted by both Beau and Cass, but something is haunting her from her past. Will they overcome it to be together?

The storyline was good and the characters was well described and lots of feelings.
I love the writing style and that the author takes up a subject that is a serious challenge. It's a story about what sacrifices a person can do to save others and what cruel actions people can get away with.
But it's also a story about love and acceptance of our desires; as long as they don't hurt others in any way it's all "normal" (I don't like the word because it's stigmatising)Love is love!

Here you got it all, boy love girl, girl love two boys, boy love boy, etc.....
So be aware: it's love in many forms and adult content.
I initially started to read this because I received a ARC of a new book in this series but now I have to read the other books before I read the ARC.
Good 5 star read.

Review: Crazy about Cameron

Crazy about Cameron by Katy Regnery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lovely hero

(Audiobook)
Cameron and Maggie has been in love with each other since they where children and finally they're connecting again. It's not all roses and hearts but they believe in a new start.
I loved this story but again the reader made it a little uncomfortable at times with her high pitching voice.
The storyline was good and the characters are well written, described with a lot of feelings.
There are not any unnecessary descriptions of surroundings and the right amount of dialogues which pleases me.
I love the authors descriptions of Cameron's insecurities regarding if Maggie feels the same as him. All the love he feels after longing for her for years comes through very good in the way the author described it. His heart is really invested.
Good, good, good 4+ star read!

Review: Proposing to Preston: The Winslow Brothers #2

Proposing to Preston: The Winslow Brothers #2 by Katy Regnery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Feelings all over

Elise is an actress in her beginning of her career when she meets Preston. They have a whirlwind romance but what happens when she's offered a opportunity of a lifetime......

I liked the first book but I LOVED this one. So full of emotions and the descriptions of the characters feelings was lovely. This book made me cry and that's a good sign actually, because that means the author reached my heart. The writing style is a little too "sweet" at times but overall it's good.

I have this stories in audiobooks so even though I didn't mention it in my review of the first book this time I have to say it: the voice reading is a little high pitch some times which makes listening a little hard. But I got through it and I can always switch to reading if it's to much. So because of that I give it 5 weak stars

Review: Emerald Island

Emerald Island by Fiona Blake
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

*I was gifted this ARC from the author and are freely giving my review of it*

This was a 3 star read for me, but it has a lot of potential to be so much more with a
storyline that is very good.
The flow in the story is not there, it feels a little staccato, like the author doesn't have full control over her story. Having in mind that this is a new author I will say it's a decent start.

I liked the characters but they could have been described more vivid to make me picture them in my mind. I really didn't get to know them. I know I often say I don't like unnecessary descriptions but there was lacking descriptions all around and for me that's a big NO.......

The scenes in this story that was supposed to be hot didn't make it to more than lukewarm, the lack of described feeling is the thing that's not making it hot. It was potential in the beginning of one of the scenes but it fizzled out. I need more feelings to be able to really say I was lost in the story.

I have to get in to the head of the characters to FEEL the story, and that didn't happen.

However the story did have enough dialogues to hold my interest and that's a big star in my book.

I feel like I only said negative things about this book but I did find it intriguing to read because I could see the potential throughout the whole story. I was actually sad to have to give it only 3 stars, but I'm nothing if not honest in my reviews.
And truthfully (again), this is just my opinion and for others it can be another sort of experience to read this story.

Review: Garrett

Garrett by Sawyer Bennett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Passion and compassion

Garrett wants more than one night with Olivia despite his reputation of being a one night stand man. Olivia, however have a secret and wants to enjoy one night with a hot man in her bed and nothing more.

Once again Bennett has made me cry and laugh and disappear inside her excellent storytelling. In the beginning it was a little slow in the build up but it soon took over my soul and heart.

I love Garrett and Olivia, and the last 3-4 pages was so adorable...........no spoilers here.

If you want to read a book about love, loss and strong characters with passion and compassion this is a great book. The hot love scenes don't make it less interesting;-)

Review: Alex

Alex by Sawyer Bennett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Heartbreaker Alex

Alex hate hockey and he doesn't give a damn about anything, but he is the MVP on his team. The suits upstairs, as the coach calls them is not happy with his attitude and he's forced to cooperate with Sutton in building a anti-drug-abuse campaign and be their spokesman. The chemistry between them are instantly affecting them.........

I loved this book and I almost always do with Bennett's books, they are full of emotions and I feel like they are written with a lot of love and care. The characters are described with so much feelings and in such a colourful way that I clearly see them in my mind.

The writing style is as excellent as always, easy to read and no unnecessary descriptions of surroundings. And dialogues......yes!!!!

The storyline is good, two people with a lot of baggage after a rough childhood, one of them has worked through it and one is just ignoring it. The understanding Sutton is showing Alex when he struggles to find his way is remarkable and that makes me feel a little unsettled but this is fiction so I choose to see it as it is and enjoy it.

When a book makes me cry and laugh and occasionally hot and bothered *blushing* it's a great 5 star read.

This is the first book in a series but it's a HEA so don't fear...... I initially started to read this one because I've received an ARC of the last book in this series and I love this author so I thought I should try to read the first books before I jump to the last. I don't regret that decision but my credit card might be......... Consider me gone the next week or so:-)

Review: Snowed In:

Snowed In: by Lila Monroe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Funny hot

I liked this story, it was fun and hot. And short, but that's okay because sometimes it's enough with a short story.

I really like the writing style of this author and all the fun that's mixed in there is making this book enjoyable.

The characters are a little lacking of feelings in my opinion but that must not stop you from reading. I'm a person that likes my books to have so much feelings in them that they almost goes up in smoke.

One thing is a plus.....no make that two things; no unnecessary descriptions of surroundings and enough dialogues:-)

I laughed, smiled and had some small sad moments reading this book so it's a 4 star read.

Review: The Black Room: Door Eight

The Black Room: Door Eight by Jasinda Wilder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wonderful conclusion

I'm surprised and at the same time I'm not. It had to be this......
What I loved most about this series of books is that I'm surprised at every corner, the author has truly made something unique and out of the ordinary.

The feeling of love between Hannah and Conrad is almost touchable, it shines through the whole series.

At first I didn't know if I liked the series very much when I read the first book but I know this authors work so I stumbled through and now I'm happy I did.

Very good work, I think this will linger in me a while and I like that.......

Review: The Black Room: Door Six

The Black Room: Door Six by Jasinda Wilder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Confusing

Could I be more confused......

This was the darkest book by now, but there is more to come I suspect.....

I think the connection between Hannah and Conrad is unique and I want clarification of what it is...... But can the connection between two people be clarified, can we know what makes this connection unique.....?
Is love always unique.........love is love but isn't love different from one relationship to another relationship......

Omg, these books makes me think a lot.......and I love that, even though I'm confused.

If you want books that makes you think and wonder of life's mysteries and like hot love scenes.........yeah, you know.......

Review: The Black Room: Door Five

The Black Room: Door Five by Jasinda Wilder
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What now.....?

I'm starting to feel that there will be a epiphany in the end of this series......but who knows?
In the beginning I was annoyed because it was all so diffusing but it's like a slow revaluation of the essence in this series.
I love how the author keeps me on the edge all the time.
Hannah is now coming to a conclusion that was hitting me in the beginning of this book.
It's hard to write a review of this series because I'm afraid to give away to much, the best I can do is advice you to read.
The feelings in this books is sometimes to much and at the same time not enough, I don't know how else to describe it. But I know this series is going to do something to me, don't know what but I'm going to the next book...........

Review: The Black Room: Door Four

The Black Room: Door Four by Jasinda Wilder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Living in the moment

Wow, these books are dragging me in...... When I read the first I was a little bit disappointed because it wasn't this authors usual writing but now I feel so connected to the main character......
This story is insanely sensual and sizzling with lust and cravings.
I'm still a little confused about what this really is........but then I forget the whole "what is the meaning of this story?" and live in the moment with the characters.
If you can manage to read the first book and see past all the questions that probably leaves you with, this can be a wonderful, black, sinful journey.
The destination isn't the most important but the adventures on the way to it is...........

Review: The Black Room: Door Three

The Black Room: Door Three by Jasinda Wilder
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Confused?

Well, I can't say I got more enlightened but I enjoyed the story very much.
The love scenes are as always full of sizzling heat and emotions and it's like a movie in my head the perfect way it's described.
Normally I would say something about the characters and if I feel a connection to them or if I get to know them but this series is a puzzle to me...........
I think the women(main character) is the same all the time and the same goes for the male character because of the way they are described. I feel like there's some connection between the story that's revealed to me a little more in each story without me even knowing it.
Omg, I'm hooked......next book!!!!!!!

Review: The Black Room: Door Two

The Black Room: Door Two by Jasinda Wilder
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Clearer?

I thought I was going to feel that things got a little clearer after book two but no.......
Is it a dream?
Is she reliving her past life's?
Is it a TV show?
I don't know but I trust this author will lead us right, maybe the answer comes in the last book or maybe she just wants us to live in the moment with the characters.
One thing I know is that she has a way of writing the love scenes that makes your heart twist and have your thighs clench.
I keep reading...........

Review: Shane and Trey

Shane and Trey by Anyta Sunday
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Twisted families

Shane is roommate with his sisters boyfriend Trey, but he's having trouble seeing him as just a roommate. He wants more but how can he betray his sister and Trey is not gay, is he????

I loved this story, it was a lot of feelings and every character had issues that gripped your heart and squeezed it.

The writing style is good with lots of dialogues but also some internal dialogues that made the story even sweeter. I loved when Shane really reflected on a friends problem and came to a conclusion that seemed rather good and mature.

The relationship between Shane and Trey grows slowly(don't tell me you didn't understand there would be a relationship, it's not a spoiler) and I thought it was sweet in the build up.

This is a story about how we all have a little broken childhood, som more then others but we have to work to get past them and friends can help you open up and see things a different way.

It's not the last book I read from this author.

Review: Wind River Rancher

Wind River Rancher by Lindsay McKenna
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Publishing date: December 27th

*A copy of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley and I'm freely giving my honest review.*

Shay owns a ranch and hires only veterans as help, one day Reese comes to the ranch. Shay and Reese feels a immediate connection but they both have emotional scars from their time in the military, can they find together despite their challenges?

I liked this story very much, the description of Shay and Reese's connection is so vibrant and full of feelings. The build up is very slow and sometimes I get frustrated but when the story ends I feel like this was like it should be.

The writing style take some getting used to but I've read the first book in this series and liked that too so I've experienced the style before. I really like to read the rest of the series as it comes out.

The story has enough dialogues to hold my attention and not get bored, and there are not an overwhelming amount of descriptions of the surroundings, just enough to give me a picture of it using my imagination.

The subject of the book is veterans with PTSD in addition to the love story, and I think it's a important subject which the author seems to have some knowledge about. I feel for those scarred souls who has fought to keep our world safe.

I recommend this book if you're interested in a sweet love story with som important underlying issues. Good 4,5 star reed.

Review: The Current Between Us

The Current Between Us by Kindle Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hot and sweet

Trent is a electrician that steps in on a job for Gage who is his dream reporter. Gage is opening a gallery and letting go of one career to start a new one. Trent have adopted his sister two kids and tries to keep his romantic life from his personal and career life. Gage changes everything and will he succeed in making his way in to Trent's life?
I love this story, it was full of feelings and made me cry and laugh.
The writing style is excellent, easy to read and no unnecessary described surroundings. There is a good amount of dialogues which really holds my interest.
At times I thought Gage was a little intense but that's okay because it's a story, and when the characters are written in a way that gets a reaction it means the description is good.
The love scenes was full of feelings and hotness, this author knows how to write love scenes. They are not so dirty that they get disgusting but not so tame that they get boring.
I also like the way the author wrote the interaction with the kids in the story, the kids was treated like humans with minds of their own.
Obviously I love this book!!!!

Review: Love Me at Midnight

Love Me at Midnight by Linda Morris
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Publishing date: December 12th

*I was gifted this ARC and are freely giving my review of it*

YOURS AT MIDNIGHT by Robin Bielman
Lyric has a secret she's keeping from her family and her childhood friend Quinn. She have not seen Quinn for years and she is afraid neither he or her family will ever forgive her for keeping this secret.....

This was a slow build up romance and I liked it, it was sweet but also hot.
The writing style is easy and had enough dialogues in my opinion.

The characters was well written and the story had a lot of feelings, I actually cried a bit in the end. I liked that the author managed to get the feelings inside the characters come very much to the surface in the story.

Very sweet 4 star read.

MELTING THE MILLIONAIRE'S HEART by Linda Morris
Special needs teacher Kayla is supposed to attend a party to suck up to a billionaire who may or may not be donating to the school she works at. She is instead stranded in a storm on a lonely road. A hot guy picks her up and takes her home, but is he who he says he is.........

I liked this sweet and hot romance, it had the ingredients of a good story; billionaire rescue the "girl next door" and sweet music is made.

The writing style is to my liking, easy and no unnecessary described surroundings, and lots of dialogues....... What's not to like?

The characters are well described but it lacked a bit in the feelings department in my opinion, I didn't get all mushy and soft inside but it was good.

A little unstable 4 stars

ONE NIGHT IN VEGAS by C.M. Stone
Eliza has a crush on her brothers friend Chris and is spending New Year's Eve with him when her brother cancelled their evening.

This was a short story with not much content but it was some sweet scenes so in my conclusion it's a sweet short story but a little boring.

A 3 star read.

All in all this bundle was a weak 4 stars.

Review: The Summer Remains

The Summer Remains by Seth King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OMG

This is a book that will always stay with me, beautiful and destroying. I bought the visper sync version and listened to it by the pool on vacation. Tears streaming but I couldn't stop listening.
The story of Summer and Cooper is a philosophical journey that makes you reflect on life, death and most of all on love......

We all deserve love and the world would be so much better if we could see the love in each other.

That's only my opinion and you may take something else from this book, but most importantly you have to read this book.
If you only wants to read ONE book this should be it!!!!!

I liked this story very much, it was sweet and fun. The only thing not making it in the top range is that the storyline was a little predictable.

The characters are well described and the build up is fine.

Review: Kiss Me For Christmas

Kiss Me For Christmas by Christine Bell, Serenity Woods, Riley Murphy, Ros Clarke
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

*I was gifted this ARC and are freely giving my review of it*

This was a sweet Christmas bundle. The first and the last story was the best, they were 4 star material, the middle story lacked substance in my opinion so it's only 3 stars from my point of view. Seeing them together I think 4 stars would be fair for this bundle.

The writing style in all the stories was easy and had no unnecessary descriptions of surroundings. Lots of dialogues made me very happy.

The characters was well written. The first and the last story made me feel more, happiness, sadness, joy........the middle one not quite so much.

The love scenes was absolutely best in the first story, a little hotness without being to roughly for the holiday spirit:-)

If you like sweet stories with a little hotness this is a good choice and worth the money. Happy holidays!

Review: Love Keeps Giving

Love Keeps Giving by Casey Cameron
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

*A copy of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley and I'm freely giving my honest review.*

Orlando finally asks "hot coffee guy" Geoff out on a date, but then a unexpected baby happens to land on his doorstep. How will this affect their beginning, will there be a beginning, will there be a happily ever after?

I love surprise baby stories, and this was a good one. Of course when you start reading a story like this you know it's a little predictable but that's okay.

The writing style is easy and to the point, not some over explained story with unnecessary words to come to the point. It has a perfect amount of dialogues and I love that.

The story is nicely build up and the characters are well described. There are lots of feelings and the author makes the characters come alive with her writing style.

I could relate to the issues Orlando is having with anxiety and depression so it was easy for me to understand he's thoughts. Geoff sounded a little self sacrificing in the beginning but he grew on me.

This is a sweet little Christmas story well worth the read.
